And on her badass role as the strong-willed, witch-hunting warrior Sara (and love interest to Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman) in the Snow White and the Huntsman prequel, she added: "I just thought, 'Oh my God, it's like my childhood fantasy to be in this movie'."

She also likened her character to the "redhead warrior goddess" from George Lucas's 1988 film Willow, and confessed to being a "huge fan of Charlize Theron".
